iPhone IM – Just not practical yet
Lot of chatter today of the release of Meebo for iPhone. I checked it out and it’s nice, but think that Beejive’s Jivetalk which I’ve mentioned previously, is the superior client. They both get the job done in an elegant way, but Beejive has better contact management and enables a float on top of either … Read moreiPhone IM – Just not practical yet
Where’s the personalization Sprint?
Seeing ads like this one from Sprint on the NYT make me wonder why they would not simply pay the (presumed) slightly higher CPM to take advantage of registration data for readers. I don’t live in San Francisco and am not on the west coast. Seeing an ad for regional info out of my region … Read moreWhere’s the personalization Sprint?

HP – Search over Mobile Ads
It’s hard to argue the logic here… Without really knowing where and what (consumer vs. business vs. enterprise) was marketed I can’t comment in any detail over the planning. The current on-deck stuff has remained limited and the more advanced users more likely to be traveling off-deck into the mobile web of their own terms. … Read moreHP – Search over Mobile Ads
Ooma Day 1
So far so good with the Ooma today… Call quality seems clear and no one has commented that we sound any different which has happened on occasion with previous home VOIP services. Only one glitch which was when I accidentally disconnected my sister-in-law by placing the call on hold. When my wife went to pick … Read moreOoma Day 1
Ooma Arrives
I received the Ooma today which I initially discussed on my podcast, the GearTech Update. In the box were both the Hub and Scout which was a nice surprise as the Scout is sold separately or so I thought when I first read about this. I am not sure whether the initial seeds (1500 White … Read moreOoma Arrives

And we thought Yahoo was moving in a new direction…
Though somehow I doubt this is where we thought they’d be heading … “In an increasingly rare collaboration with Hollywood, Yahoo has signed a production deal with the company behind reality shows such as Temptation Island and Joe Millionaire. The Web behemoth’s nonexclusive first-look pact with Rocket Science Laboratories will likely focus on short-form video … Read moreAnd we thought Yahoo was moving in a new direction…
Remember when Palm was Cool?
It’s been a while since Palm did anything that got my attention in a positive way, but seeing the alleged pictures of the pending Treo 800 just has me scratching my head. Did someone get distracted along the way here or what? This is one ugly design… Are we sure the function buttons are large … Read moreRemember when Palm was Cool?
Friday Fun – Intel Rocks Hard
My former agency and colleages at McCann and MRM have produced a few funny videos for Intel on Hardware Security. Christopher Guest directed and Dan Finnerty of the Dan Band (seen in “Old School” and “Starsky & Hutch”) sings. There’s some good I.T. Manager humor woven into the lyrics! While the videos are clearly fun, … Read moreFriday Fun – Intel Rocks Hard

My kids are still way to young to explore on Club Penguin, but I checked it a few months ago after a parent at school mentioned their older child enjoyed some time online there. The site is pretty simple, and involves some guided chat and interactions (read safe) options as well as quite a few … Read moreDisney buys Club Penguin for $350 Million!
Better iPhone Gmail POP Mail
Just a quick update… not sure what was going on yesterday, but I am getting sent mail in my inbox. Damn you GMail! I really don’t like POP email, but the last thing I want to do is create a new email account just to gain IMAP access to forwarded Gmail. I currently forward my … Read moreBetter iPhone Gmail POP Mail
